Thanks to all of you who were able to come out and see DSO this spring on our winding road to Manchester, TN. Along the way we were honored to welcome two very special guests as Rob Eaton Jr. joined DSO for "Easy Wind" on the first night and Phish's Mike Gordon sat in for a few tunes on both nights at Higher Ground in VT. The end of the road brought DSO to Bonnaroo greeted by thousands of fans under 'The Other Tent' for their Late Night slot on Thursday night. Highlights include a highly energetic and crowd-participated Tennessee Jed, and a mega-sandwich to end the show: I Need a Miracle> Shakedown St> Drums> Space> Alligator> Attics of My Life> Not Fade Away (reprise).

All Good Vibes Tour Kicks Off

If Bonnaroo and Langerado didn't tip you off yet, it's festival season! We'll also be playing quite a few Midwestern and mid-Atlantic shows scattered between this year's All Good, 10,000 Lakes Festival, Gathering of the Vibes and Mighty High Festivals - so we hope to see you soon!
